Tanishaa is the daughter of veteran actress Tanuja and younger sister to actress Kajol.

Having come from a filmi background, Tanishaa says acting in movies was always an open option for her. She was supposed to be launched alongside Hrithik Roshan by renowned filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, when she was 16 years of age.

Tanishaa even did a photo shoot with Kapur for his movie Ta Ra Rum Pum, but fate intervened and the project was abandoned.

She did end up making her Bollywood debut in an immensely forgettable slasher film ‘Sssshhhh’ before coming to notice with her films Popcorn Khao! Mast Ho Jao and ‘Tango Charlie’. Neal N Nikki, Sarkar Raj
